Read More »Exposure to cold temperatures may help boost your metabolic rate by stimulating brown fat activity in your body ( 1 ). While your fat stores are mainly made up of white fat, they also include small amounts of brown fat. These two types of body fat have different functions. White fat’s main function is energy storage. Having too much white fat tissue may promote inflammation and insulin resistance. In contrast, the main function of brown fat is to maintain body heat during cold exposure ( 2 , 3 ). Brown fat’s calorie-burning effect has been shown to vary among individuals. In general, people who are obese seem to have less active brown fat than normal-weight people ( 4 ). Based on early animal research, chronic exposure to cold is believed to lead to the browning of white fat — though this is still being studied ( 5 ). Human studies indicate that exposure to cold temperatures may significantly increase calorie burning, depending on the amount of active brown fat in your body ( 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 ). What’s more, you don’t need to endure freezing temperatures to reap this benefit. In one study, healthy young men with similar body compositions stayed in a 66°F (19°C) environment for 2 hours. Though calorie burning increased in all of them, the effect was tripled in those with the highest brown fat activity ( 10 ). In another study in 10 lean, young men, exposure to a temperature of 62°F (17°C) for 2 hours led to an additional 164 calories burned per day, on average ( 11 ). A few ways to obtain the benefits of cold exposure include slightly lowering the temperature in your home, taking cold showers, and walking outside in cold weather. SUMMARY Exposure to cold temperatures has been shown to stimulate brown fat activity, which increases the number of calories you burn.

It has been said that composer Sergei Rachmaninoff (1873-1943) had extraordinarily large hands. If you ever attempt to play one of his extremely difficult piano pieces, you might agree. He not only had little regard for any “normal” musician’s hand size, but also just loved ultra-fast notes in rich, multi-part textures that reflected his Romantic, mysterious, and dark moods. And so, musical comedians often find various ways to make fun of Rachmaninoff’s music… and the brave pianists who try to play it! Here is a video of funny duo finding a way to adapt little hands to big music: One more thing I need to mention… I went to the Puget Sound Symphony Orchestra’s Spring Concert on May 14 and was ASTOUNDED that they had a high school pianist perform Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 3, First Movement. Dong Won Lee did an amazing job with a WILD piece! Rachmaninoff had dedicated this piece for a friend who politely declined to perform it, saying it “wasn’t for him,” and that he was sad that he never tried this piece as a student, when he was “still too young to know fear.”
